Can anyone post top down pics of how high up they have their packs? I got a pallisades (ruff wear) medium pack and was too big and stat to far back for Eve. I got too good of a deal on it and had a local sign sewing shop shorten the breast straps up so it is tighter and slide the pack forward. I can take more out but want to see where everyone should properly adjust the pack forward.

ALuengo, I disagree. That is a very poor fit for a backpack. If you see the original post on this thread you'll se some photos of a properly fit backpack and instructions on how to fit one.

I have to admit. There are a lot of poorly fitted backpacks in this thread. This is the reason I personally dislike Ruffwears backpacks, they very rarely fit.
I just googled a bit to find some pictures with properly fitted backpacks and some not so good. Maybe they can help all of you fit your own backpacks better.

This dog has a long back, but you get the jist. Good fit.

Another one, maybe it should com a bit further down on the back butnot much.

Another good fit

Funny picture of silly norwegians, but a good example of a poorly packed backpack. The fit itself isn't too bad. It'j just unevenly packed and is slouching to one side.

I wouldn't add so much weight that you could call it physical exercise really. It could hurt him more than benefit him in my opinion. That's just me though...
I don't know if you meant you adjusted it forward towards his shoulders? It doesn't look like you had much to go on in the first place? And I would think pulling the backpack further towards his shoulders would make the it looser over his back where it is already too loose?

But of course this is my opinion only. Since there are a lot of poorly fitted backpacks in this thread and I do have some experience with backpacking I thought I would offer it.

I just showed this to my boyfriend, this reminds me of him so much! When he got his backpacking tent he set it up in his bedroom and tried it out. Your dog even looks like Arnold (my avatar) in that photo!

Boys will have their toys! Arnold is very handsome, a mini-head version of Fez! I was curious what the dog would say about sleeping in the tent, he was a champ! Can't wait to head for a few days completely alone together!
